Hoyt Bow Reviews

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt Ventum Pro 33, launched at $1,349 for 2022, is the aim-first aluminum hunter - the long, forgiving member of the Ventum Pro platform for shooters who want a dead-steady hold without paying for carbon. Built on the same HBX Pro binary cam, In-Line accessory system, and VitalPoint grip as the... read full review

The Bottom Line:The 2022 Hoyt Carbon RX Twin Turbo is a speed bow that refuses to behave like one, and that is its whole appeal. It launched at carbon-flagship pricing and earns the tier with rare honesty on the chronograph - owners measure the mid-340s fps with a light arrow against a 350 IBO claim, and 290 to 310... read full review

The Bottom Line:Hoyt has really hit a homeroom for shooters wanting a 40-inch axle-to-axle target bow. Everything about this, and the redesigned components was done to create the best, most accurate shooting platform possible. However, the price is borderline offensive with a bare bow price of $1899. To be fair, many... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt Invicta 37 DCX is an awesome bow designed for championship caliber tournament archers. The DCX cam is a bit speedier, has a solid back wall, and has two let-off options. This bow has amazing upgrades from the previous models, feels great, and is offered in amazing color options. The modular... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Invicta platform is an awesome target bow specifically designed for the most serious archers on the planet. Everything about the bow and the re-engineering was done to provide target shooters the most stable and forgiving platform possible. The SVX cam is a tournament favorite for Hoyt pro staffers... read full review

The Bottom Line:An MSRP of $1899 is a ton of money to spend on any compound bow, regardless of the style of archery or brand. The Hoyt Invicta 37 SVX is expensive, and for some shooters may be really hard to justify. For others, having a Hoyt target bow designed to put shooters in the best possible position to win tournaments... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt REDWRX Carbon RX-5 Ultra, launched in 2021 at roughly $1,699, is the long-axle, maximum-forgiveness build of Hoyt's 2021 carbon platform - and the bow that quietly outshot its own spec sheet. Its 334 fps IBO was the slowest of the year's flagships on paper, yet it chronographed 328 fps and tied... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt Ventum 30, launched at $1,199 for 2021, is the bow that quietly argues you do not need carbon to get the carbon-flagship feel. Built on the same all-new HBX binary cam, In-Line accessory system, XACT grip, and hunting finishes as the carbon REDWRX Carbon RX-5, it trades the hollow-carbon riser... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt Ventum 33, launched at $1,199 for 2021, is the long, forgiving aluminum hunter of Hoyt's two-bow Ventum line - the one owners kept calling the best Hoyt they had shot in years. Built on the all-new HBX binary cam, the In-Line accessory system, the XACT grip, and the same hunting finishes as... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt REDWRX Carbon RX-5, launched at $1,699 for 2021, was the year Hoyt stopped refining the REDWRX formula and rebuilt its engine. The all-new HBX Cam - a Tri-Track binary that finally retired the old split-yoke layout - gave this compact 30-inch carbon hunter the one thing earlier RedWRX bows lacked:... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt Torrex is one of the most capable bows you can buy for under $600 - a $599 bow-only ($699 ready-to-hunt) value hunter that borrows the X-Act grip and Cam & 1/2 system from Hoyt's carbon flagships and only gives up the things a hunter rarely misses: a machined riser and aluminum limb pockets.... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt Torrex XT is the fast, refined half of Hoyt's value lineup - a $749 bow-only hunter that takes the bargain-flagship Torrex formula, drops the brace height an inch for 9 fps more on its 336 IBO rating, and adds the roller cable guard and Shock Pods dampers the base bow does without. It keeps... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt Torrex XT LD is the long-draw answer in Hoyt's value lineup - a $749 bow-only hunter that takes the Torrex XT's fast, refined chassis, fits a long-draw module for a 30-to-31-inch window, and opens the brace height back up to a forgiving 7 inches so the tall shooter gets clearance and margin... read full review

The Bottom Line:The RX-4 Turbo is a great shooting bow. It has a maneuverable frame with a compact 31-inch axle-to-axle measurement, and an ATA rated 350 feet per second gives shooters a lot of options for arrow weight and kinetic energy versus raw speed for each to choose what makes the most sense for them. For shooters... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Hoyt Helix Turbo, launched at $1,249 MSRP in 2020 and carried over unchanged through 2021, is the aluminum speed bow Hoyt built for the experienced hunter who wants flagship velocity without the carbon price. At 350 fps IBO on a compact 31-inch chassis with a sub-six-inch brace, it delivers real-world... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Axius Alpha is the most compact hunting bow ever designed by Hoyt, and it marks off a large number of wants for those on the market for a short hunting bow. There is a fair amount of performance with an ATA speed rating of 342 feet per second. The 4.3-pound bare bow weight is also fairly lightweight... read full review

The Bottom Line:The Axius Ultra is a sweet shooting hunting bow for 2020. This model has a newly designed ZTR cam system, an integrated mount for the popular QAD Integrate rest, and a wide range of draw length and weight adjustment to fit almost any interested shooter on the market for a new hunting bow. The Axius Ultra... read full review

The Bottom Line:The RX-4 Ultra is the third installment of the REDWRK branding from Hoyt, and it is arguably the best carbon model Hoyt has ever produced. The changes to the cam system, although somewhat minor, have really made a better shooting experience with a smoother draw, firmer back wall, and quieter shot. The... read full review
